COTTAGE BY THE BEACH:3 bedrooms, air conditioning, washer/dryer. Dog friendly!
This charming 1950s cottage is only about a half block from the lovely Tierra del Mar beach, and it's central to so many fun activities. Surfing in Pacific City is about 3 miles away, Lincoln City Outlet stores is about 25 minutes to the south of us, and the Blue Heron and Tillamook cheese factories are about 25 minutes north. There is hiking very close, and the famous Dory fishing boat charters are about 6 minutes away. For those riding the Sandlake dunes, we are approximately 15 minutes away. Then of course, it's fun to just walk down the quiet street to the beach and enjoy the view.

We spent 5 nights here and enjoyed our stay. The beds were cozy and neighborhood was quiet. The best part is the proximity to the beach from the house. It’s a 3 min walk!
The owners went above and beyond to insure our stay was great. There aren't enough kind things I can say. The property was clean and the description provided was accurate. You can't beat the proximity to the beach either! We loved our stay and will absolutely try to stay here again.
This beach cabin was SO CLEAN, we really appreciated how comfortable and easy it was to settle in from the moment we stepped in the door. The house is just steps from the beach and on your way there you get to feed the wild bunnies! The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking in. The house had extra towels, blankets and pillows, really everything you needed to feel comfortable (even beach chairs!) All of the house rules and guidelines were clearly written out and easy to follow. The owners were easy to get ahold of and so communicative both via phone and VRBO app when a small issue did arise. They took care of it promptly without interfering with our stay. We would definitely stay here again!
This is our second stay at this property. My wife and I were here in February to celebrate her birthday - we returned for mine.
The biggest issue with the property is the two tiny bathrooms. They are functional but very small.
We love that the beach is just a two minute walk from the property. We were blessed with mostly good weather during our 3-day stay.
Clean comfortable accommodations with excellent quiet beach access. No cell phone service from house, bbque needs attention -I brought my own grill plate to place on top of rusted grill and had existing debris ignite and had to let it burn out before I could cook.
The house smelled of mold and mildew, no heat was on when we arrived. The house is a health hazard and shouldn’t be rented until it is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. The representation of the house by Vrbo was disingenuous at best. I will be reluctant to rent anything through you in the future.
It is a comfortable "cottage style" house, just a short walk from the beach and no need to cross the road. All the houses are pretty close to each other, but nice neighbors and not too noisy. The house is about ten minutes drive to Pacific City (where you may find a small market, restaurants, etc.) and about 35-40 minutes to Lincoln City (large Safeway grocery store and many restaurants and activities).
The kitchen had all the essentials, one larger bedroom and two smaller bedrooms were good for us. Two bathrooms are accessible outside the bedrooms. Great laundry room with new appliances.
There's ample space in the living area for congregating and to sleep on the couches or even on the floor with sleeping bags for the kids.
As a suggestion to the owners, - it would have been helpful to have additional shelving or dressers in the bedrooms for the clothing; and, to have additional sitting on the deck and chairs around the firepit. Overall, it is a lovely place.
The house was perfect. Bed super comfy and kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The host was on it keeping us informed on everything. House was spotless and warm and inviting.
Really comfortable and homey house. Larger than the photos depict. Very well stocked. Quiet neighborhood and short walk to the beach. You can hear the waves at night! The kitchen has a ton of equipment, sharp knives, and a few condiments. Coffee bar was a fun touch.
This is a wonderful cottage close to the beach. The space was great for our family. The kitchen was very well stocked. It is located close to many things to do - hikes, beaches and other adventures. Highly recommended!
This is a well-cared for home (with an amazingly stocked coffee bar!) in an area that feels a bit remote - it's great for a short walk to the beach, but it rained the whole time we were there so our kids (5 & 4) loved the array of games and art supplies. Cell service was nonexistent and Wi-Fi was very spotty which was a bit rough when the kids wanted to watch a movie. Originally we were to be joined by my parents and our dog but they were unable to make it and the hosts were wonderful about refunding the pet fee - it ended up being fine as I think the configuration of bathrooms is best-suited for a one-family stay. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and great host communication!
My family and I had an amazing time! The living area is set up so the whole family can sit at the table playing games or on the couch watching tv. It’s an easy walk to the beach and plenty of friendly wild life along the way. It was a quiet neighborhood.
This is a great little home that is clean and inviting. Loved the ample, comfortable seating in the family room. Close to the beach with easy access located on a very quiet street. Could hear the ocean from the house. A sitke forest with trails near by, that we enjoyed as well. Overall great experience!
I would like to thank the hosts for sharing their beach house with us, we really enjoyed our stay. The place was very homey and all the amenities that we needed.
We had a lovely weekend stay woth our adult children. Kitchen was well appointed, walk to the beach was wonderful and super close.
Only negative is there is only one functional bathtub / shower. The other works good as a dog wash though.
Another great year at Tierra surf. we just love that cabin. I’ve been going there ever since I was a kid and to be able to bring my family Is a great thing. It truly feels like a home away from home. Thank you!! See you next year.

A few missing details
Overall the stay was great. Home is beautiful, proximity to beach is fantastic. Small town is right what we wanted. Two things felt like they weren't disclosed for a reason. Wild rabbits everywhere. Triggered my dog's prey drive so walking them at least twice a day was tedious at best. One time they ran up from the beach and by the time I climbed my way back up to the house there was a very angry neighbor waiting. But the worst part was the promise of an over size bathtub in the picture on your site. Turns out that it is only big enough for a small dog or toddler. Not a place for relaxing soak. Take that photo out. Feeling misled.
